have been to compel jurors TO be chosen
from among the ignorant and uniformed,
which might have proved advantageous to
criminals, but not to the cause OF justice and
right. Had the court taken jurisdiction of
the case, il is difficult 10 conceive of any
murder trial or, indeed, trial for any other
crime in state court, that could not have
been appealed in like manner, a proceeding
that would be greater degree of centraliza-
would have shorn the state courts of large
degree of their power and strength and, in
many instances, would have proved shield
for criminals and defeat to justice. Of all
the arguments adduced on behalf of the
anarchists, that of Gen. BUTLER that his
clients, being foreigners, were entitled to spe-
cial privileges, was the most gauzy, and the
court treated it almost with contempt. Moth
ing but executive clemency now stands be-
tween the seven condemned men and the gal
lows. What Governor OGLEsDY may do is not
known as yet. He has absolute power over
the matter and may commute, reprieve or
pardon. The prevailing impression seems
to be that he will do neither. If he does
not interfere, next Friday will witness the
final net in the tragedy, and the seven will
then have seen the last of earth.

We have seen several items in different
papers of the state-some of them dailies
that claim to be among the leading journals
of the state-statIng that the necessary
three-ifths, two-thirds, one-third or other
fractions of the voters of some county had
been obtained to local option petitions.
Such paragraphs are calculated to create an
erroneous impression as to the number of
names required to secure special election
under the county option law. One-ffth OF
the legal voters of any county, as shown by
the last gubernatorial election, are all that
are necessary to set the election machinery
in motion and to give the people an oppor-
tunity TO express their will on this great
question through the medium of the ballot
box

\ coRoNER's jury has recommended that

Vernon and her appliances be arrested. Ii
it is true-and there seems to be little or no
doubt about it-that her life preservers were
made of hay instead of cork and became
veritable life destroyers instead of life pre-
servers, there should be some method of
melting out severe punishment, not only to
the inspector who examined-or who didn't
examine-the vessel and her appliances, but
also 10 the parties who, for the sake of a
psltry gain, would manufacture or purchase
such misnamed articles. Every dollar they
have made or saved by so doing is red with
the blood of their fellow men. While not
legally guilty of murder, they are morally SO
and, in that great court where no erroneous
judgments are entered, they must answer for
their criminal cupidity.

ONLY three weeks remain in which to
prepare for the special election that is to be
held on Thursday. December lst. II be-
hooves the friends of legal prohibition to be
up and doing. They should remember that
if they are defeated this time, they cannot,
under the provisions of the statute, make
another attempt to wipe out the traffic until
after tho expiration of three years. They
should remember, also, that in case Of sue
cess, the friends of the traffic cannot make
an attempt to reinstate it for like period of
time. and that they would then have to
assume the Iaboring oar themselves and
secure the names of requisite number of
liquor men to petition therefor, before an
election could be called, thing that they
might not fnd it easy 20 accomplish. There
is no need of defeat and but one danger 10
guard against-the apathy of temperance
men themselves. 1t will not do 10 say that
last springs vote showed a majority of over
thirty-fye hundred in favor of constitutional
prohibition. and therefore no particular
effort is needed, victory is assured anyhow.
Every voter who wishes to see our county
relieved FROM the disreputable. body and
soul-destroying traffic. should make it a
point to be at the polls and to see that his
neighbors are there-that is if they are not
-prohibitionists: if they are. let them
stay at home if they want to. thorough
organization should be perfected throughout
the county, SO that temperance voters may
be rallied in full force and thus not only
achieve SUCCESS. but gain an overwhelming
victory, so great that its moral force will
render it an easy thing to enforce the law.
Such victory may be had by making only
n reasonable effort therefor
